@elteec98 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect and thank you for your service!
Yes, OHSU is considered an awesome place to go, definitely. I had squamous cell cancer removed from the middle of my forehead, and agree the headaches afterwards were no fun. You got to wonder if the thinner skin/less extra skin/closer to your pain center of the brain may be contributing factors for the discomfort? In the past couple of years my face has had several skin cancers removed, and two more MOHs procedures are scheduled mid-July, one on each eyebrow for squamous cell tumors that will not respond to fluorouracil or liquid nitrogen.
It certainly is worth a good conversation with our doctors to determine the best course of treatment for various skin cancers. We are part of the team, so our thoughts do indeed count!
